Anyone who has a scrapped Yaesu / Sommerkamp HF rig from
30 years ago, or so, will find that for both TX and RX, the
tunable IF covers the 60m / 5MHz band.

I am thinking specifically of the FTDX560 / Sommerkamp 747 where the
tunable IF is 5.220 - 5.720, and covers down to 5.125 off the lower limits
of the VFO, IF is 3.180, so it is (was) essentially a 60M rig with an
Xtal controlled treansverter.

As it happens, I have the VFO, XTAL filter and carrier Xtals from
a scrapped one of those, and had recently measured the vfo spread with a
view to making
a single-bandeer out of it.

Bearing in mind the rather silly and infantile abusive post from a certain
quarter,
does that post suggest that OfCom should consider retesting all those Class
Bers
who downgraded to a Fools' Licence because that very downgrading implied
only the technical competence of a Fools' Licensee?

Hoist by his own petard, what goes around comes around, or people who
live in glass houses, etc?
